Synopsis

For the first time on DVD four fully restored feature films, and one short film, directed by Ernst Lubitsch during the period he rose to prominence as one of Germany's top filmmakers - and before he left his mark in Hollywood. All films in this series were fully restored, in 35mm, by Germany's F. W. Murnau Foundation.

This is not a boxed set, all titles are individually wrapped.

Titles may also be purchased individually.

Films
The Oyster Princess (plus I Don’t Want to Be a Man)
Director: Ernst Lubitsch
Country: Germany
Year: 1919
A hilarious silent comedy from a master filmmaker. A pampered American oyster tycoon decides to buy a husband for his daughter, but things don’t go quite as planned. Along the way there are mishaps, misunderstandings and a foxtrot sequence that must be seen to be believed.
Anna Boleyn
Director: Ernst Lubitsch
Country: Germany
Year: 1920
A groundbreaking historical epic from legendary director Ernst Lubitsch. The tragic story of the second wife of England’s Henry VIII is given first-class treatment, complete with opulent sets, beautiful cinematography, and a bravura performance by Emil Jannings (THE LAST LAUGH, THE BLUE ANGEL) as Henry.
Sumurun
Director: Ernst Lubitsch
Country: Germany
Year: 1920
A rebellious harem girl rejects the old sheikh and instead falls for a charming clothing merchant in this exotic spectacle that is one of the key early works of the celebrated director. The cast includes Pola Negri as a traveling dancer and Lubitsch himself as a hunchbacked clown.
The Wildcat
Director: Ernst Lubitsch
Country: Germany
Year: 1921
A charismatic lieutenant newly assigned to a remote fort is captured by a group of mountain bandits, thus setting in motion a madcap farce that is Lubitsch at his most unrestrained. A wonderfully anarchic and playfully subversive satire of military life from one of the great comedy filmmakers.
